I'm pretty sure we have a lot of folks here who own HoI4 and we haven't done a big game in a while. I thought for this game we'd do something alternate to the regular game.
When:Sunday at 14:00 UK time until 18:00 UK time.
Should the game not finish on this Sunday, which is very likely, we'll continue it the next Sunday at the same time.
Joining in progress will be on, so those who can't make it on time are still welcome.
What:German-led democratic Central Europe Defence Alliance (players) vs. a buffed (3 probably) Soviet Union (AI).
The German alternate path allows Germany to become a democratic power mainly focused on defending Europe from the communists. As a part of this, it can invite most of the minor countries in Europe to join it. We tried a small game like this a while back but we never got to finish it, despite it looking very interesting.
Who:I've listed the countries in order of importance/how interesting they are to play. That means focus tree above non-focus tree countries, and bigger/stronger above weaker.
- Germany
- Poland
- Romania
- The Netherlands
- Yugoslavia
- Czechoslovakia
- Hungary
- Sweden
- Finland
- Turkey
- Bulgaria
- Belgium
- Austria
- Norway
- Denmark
Optionally we could add France, or the United Kingdom, as these as majors could make the game more interesting, but I would like setting them to go communist and join the Soviet Union, as a means of making the game more difficult. I have left the Baltic states out of the country list, because they are tiny and on the Soviet's doorstep, making interesting play unlikely.
I think it's best if we sign up for these countries in this thread, mainly as an indication of who's planning on coming. Because some of us at TWC don't check the forums all that much, it would be appreciated if you could pass this onto those who you think might be interested.
